He was a bit of hero to our family as captain of Lancashire and the fact he worked with our grandad as a young man. The insight he passed on To a young up and coming player like me was immense. And Dave Hilton, don’t forget that if you weren’t on the running for the Subsid., Wrighty invented the Sub-subsid for the last 4 games….and the Sub-subsubsid for the last 2 games. We always had a trophy to play for at Heywood CC.

A much undervalued competition and just looking at the honours board that was the last time the firsts won it! You continued the message into the seconds and every season the first thing we looked at in the fixture book was who our last six games were against. Twenty four prep games for the main event each season and the planning was meticulous – only to fail time and time again!
